”Xiaosu, no matter what, that child came to invite me and your uncle Liu to be his guests. Since something has happened to him, there's no reason for us to ignore him. I don't have any way to take care of the two children tomorrow.

Su Zhi nodded somewhat sluggishly.

After Aunt Bai left, Su Zhi's lipstick did not continue to work either. She felt uneasy and suspected that it was Xiao Qian who had done it.

However, Xiao Qian was a straightforward person. How could he go on a rampage to beat up a good citizen?

But if it wasn't Xiao Qian, who else would it be? No one had a motive.

The more Su Zhi thought about it, the angrier she became. Her good impression of Xiao Qian had completely disappeared.

This man had done such a outrageous thing last night. He had beaten someone up again today.

That night, around midnight.

Su Zhi had long since put the two children to sleep, but she had been paying attention to what was happening outside the door.

Sure enough, after a while, there was another knock on the door.

She angrily got up and opened the door. As expected, it was Xiao Qian.

Seeing his handsome appearance, Su Zhi could not help but feel infuriated.

What was the man's expression now? Pretending to be innocent or pretending to be kind?

Seeing Su Zhi's angry look, Xiao Qian's heart was in turmoil.

He had been drinking last night and had actually done such a ridiculous thing. Afterwards, he had always regretted coming to Spring Leaf Lane. However, he had already said that he would come last night, so he couldn't help but come rushing over.

”Sorry about last night. ”I …”

”The general knows he's done wrong, why does he keep on making mistakes? You actually dared to make such a principled mistake like hitting someone? ”

Xiao Qian looked at her blankly, not understanding what she meant.

”When did I hit him?”

Su Zhi sneered, ”I'm just asking you, were you the one who sent people to beat up Brother Liu on his way back?”

”You're saying that Liu Yuan was beaten up?”

Still pretending to be dumb!

”Do you dare to say that it wasn't you? Big Brother Liu is such a warm-hearted person, yet you still have the heart to hurt him? ”

Xiao Qian frowned and didn't directly answer her question. Instead, he asked, ”Are you really that worried about him?”

”Yes sir!”

Without even thinking, Su Zhi admitted it immediately.

Xiao Qian's face instantly turned pale.

”Even if the general sends someone to injure him, he can't change the appearance of a righteous man like Brother Liu in my heart!”

He was discouraged, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. In a hoarse voice, he replied, ”I didn't do it.”

Su Zhi didn't want to hear his rebuttal, so she pushed him out of the room and said, ”General, I can't tolerate this little temple of mine. You should go back as soon as possible.”

She casually wanted to close the door, but Xiao Gan held the door in his hand. He didn't say anything, but stubbornly stared at Su Zhi, his eyes filled with emotions that she couldn't understand.

Being stared at by him until she felt weak, Su Zhi began to panic, afraid that the man would get angry.

Based on her posture last night, she wouldn't be able to hold on.

However, Xiao Qian wasn't angry. Instead, he calmly looked at her as if he was very sad.

Su Zhi's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly felt like she had turned back into an evil person, but she also understood that this man had a face that no one else knew.

The two of them were in a deadlock, their thoughts different.

After a long while, Xiao Qian lost first. He let go of his hands in disappointment, and without saying another word to Su Zhi, he got on his horse and disappeared into the pitch black alleyway.
